Redundancy Rights & Advice

  4. Redundancy Rights & Advice

At Banner Jones, our Employment Law experts in Chesterfield, Sheffield and Mansfield offer expert Redundancy rights advice as well as up to date guidance on redundancy laws.

Redundancy is something that we hear far too often at the moment, but it is an unfortunate fact that most people will go through this at least once in their working life. Being fully informed on your redundancy rights is essential if you are facing redundancy by your employer. At Banner Jones we have expert employment solicitors who are continuously ensuring that they are up to date with the latest on redundancy laws; that way we are able to offer expert redundancy rights advice to all clients. 

The law sets out the situations in which a redundancy can arise, but even if the situation you are facing falls within the legal definition of a redundancy, the law still requires your employer to adopt a fair and reasonable procedure. This can include many things and we can offer you advice and support to ensure that you understand the process so that you can make informed decisions and can engage as fully as possible.

Currently facing redundancy?

If you are currently facing redundancy, Banner Jones can help you make sure that your redundancy rights as an employee are being dealt with in the correct manner.

We are here to take you through the redundancy process step by step and can advise you of your redundancy rights, allowing you to make informed decisions. Your redundancy rights include the following:

  • Your redundancy payment
  • Time off to look for another job
  • The selection procedure and whether it was fair

If we feel you have a redundancy case against your employer, we will guide you through the tribunal process step by step, ensuring you are fully educated with the latest redundancy advice. We always give open and honest opinions of the likely outcome, therefore ensuring you make informed decisions.

Some clients we have helped and supported, have been able to remain in employment, whilst others have secured the best possible exit terms, sometimes under settlement agreements. We have also gone on to help clients pursue claims of Unfair Dismissal.  The best advice we can give is to speak to someone as soon as possible when facing redundancy.

 

 

If your employer goes into administration and cannot pay your wages, what can you do?

If your employer goes into administration and no one steps in to buy the business from the administrator, you will normally be made redundant. Your employer would usually be insolvent at that point, meaning that there may not be any funds available to make redundancy payments.  In this situation you can claim payments from the National Insurance Fund within 6 months of your dismissal.  The National Insurance Fund is operated and managed by the Redundancy Payments Service, to whom employees make their application for repayment.  

These are the types of payments that can be claimed, with the payment cap currently standing at £571 per week (£544 if you were made redundant before 6th April 22).

  • Up to eight weeks’ wages
  • Arrears of holiday pay for a period of up to six weeks
  • Payment for any statutory notice period that was worked but not paid (up to 12 weeks maximum)
  • Unpaid pension contributions
  • The basic award for unfair dismissal

You can find out more about how to make a claim on the GOV.UK website.

Redundancy rights advice

At Banner Jones, we understand that being made redundant can be a highly stressful ordeal for any individual to go through. Our highly trained experts offer support and care to all of our clients. We also offer a sensitive approach to each case whilst also ensuring that all of our services are fully confidential. We will provide you with informative redundancy rights advice that will help you come to a decision which will benefit you.
